Review & FAQ:
The Fortifications of Quebec National Historic Site is part of the defense system built between 1608 and 1871 in Québec City, overlooking St. Laurence River. It served as Canada's main military stronghold during colonial times. It is the only fortified city north of Mexico which is still standing, and it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage City and Canadian National Historic Site.
Guided tours take visitors along 4.6 km long walls and through the four remaining gates. The oldest is Porte St. Louis which was built in 1694. There is a range of activities available for the whole family, such as the Musket Firing Demonstration and the Tour of the Artillery Park. Map
